Managing Reliability Test Failures During the Product Development Process

This discussion will focus on aspects of reliability testing in the development process, when those tests occur and how the organization responds when there are failures. There will be discussion of using the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle to address the failures, find the root cause and verify an effective fix. All this must be done within the context of the product development cycle during the concept, prototype and validation phases of the project.

By having an effective problem solving method imbedded in the development process, reliability targets can be reached, designs can be modified or changed with less impact on the project in terms of cost and timing and a lessons learned library for the next product development cycle can be compiled.

Key Words: Plan, Do, Check Act Cycle (PDCA); Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R); Test Incident Report (TIR); Reliability Target Setting, Use Profiles, Structured Development Process
